Temperature Taking for Shipping and Receiving Products

Hi everyone,

May I know the proper ways/ procedures to take temperature of products using infrared thermometer before shipping and at receiving? In our QC manual, it says to take temperature of 3 random boxes and record the highest. Does it have to be the same products? What if the pallets contain different types of products (combined shipments) and/or different customers (do we have to take the product per customer)?

Also, does anyone have any forms of training for temperature taking for QC?

I truly appreciate it. Thank you.

It is Meat Processing Facility (80% frozen, 20% fresh)

I would take fresh temps by product type 

as for frozen, if all boxes regardless of type are "keep frozen"  than any random 3 should be sufficient

Are they coming on the same truck?  fresh and frozen?

Thank you for your input.

It depends. Most cases, fresh and frozen will be come in the same truck.
